The Ranting Room

Oh no, James, by no means is it just you - when the first telethons were aired in the UK in the early 1980s, they managed to be watchable - OK, they were too 'worthy' for their own good, but that came with the territory...

...but now...?

You can guarantee that Eastenders will do a 10 minute 'comedy' version for RND, and be so cringingly awful that you even feel sorry for them; it is a fair bet, too, that the cast of The Bill could turn up to sing a 'hilarious' version of "A policeman's lot is not a happy one", after which Lenny Henry (probably) will laugh his most insincere fake laugh & move on to an item involving a dead child, followed by a newsreader upside down in a bucket of sick!

And Russell Brand?!?

Could somebody please tell me who the he is?

They're doing a Comic Relief Archers special, so if you listen to Radio 4, you suffer also.

Russell Brand is an incredibly annoying and unfunny comedian with stupid hair who seems to be taking over the television and radio (like Jimmy Carr did last year).

Here he is:



Hmm, enough pledges and we might get our Kerplunky wish!

Hmmm - this Russell Brand chap appears to be all over the media at the moment, but with Jimmy carr, at least I'd heard of him previously as a pretty ascerbic stand up comedian... but I ask myself:

Why is this t**t famous?

In other words, he gets drunk a lot, uses drugs & swears on TV to get the wobbling masses to laugh.

What a wonderful mass media we have.

I can see this subject going much further, as I suspect we both have the same opinions of Mr Brand.

No, I love him. I want to be like him and it tears me apart each day, that I will be never be like him..



Ok, thats my last word on the matter..subject change called for!

Why do sporting events take precedence over all other TV scheduling?? Last weeks episode of 'Life on Mars' was rescheduled to make way for a vitally important FA cup clash between Reading and Man U. I was most annoyed..

But happy now, because it's on tonight!

True, but Michael Jackson is still about. 

Ah brilliant!

He's got Russell Brand's hair though...

Who's going to pledge money to see Kerplunky do a strip-tease then?  I prefer Julia Bradbury myself.
